Erythrocyte membrane nervonic acid in drug-naive first-episode psychosis and chronic medicated schizophrenia: Implication for impaired myelination and prognosis

Figure 2 Association of erythrocyte membrane nervonic acid with plasma leptin and body mass index in schizophrenia. ^aP < 0.05 was considered significant. A: In patients with first-episode psychosis, erythrocyte membrane nervonic acid (NA) did not show significant association with plasma leptin; B: In patients with first-episode psychosis, erythrocyte membrane NA did not show significant association with body mass index; C: In medicated patients with chronic schizophrenia, erythrocyte membrane NA showed significant negative association with plasma leptin; D: In medicated patients with chronic schizophrenia, erythrocyte membrane NA showed significant negative association with body mass index. FEP: First-episode psychosis; CSZ: Chronic schizophrenia.
